Vejle Reads // Book Club Match-Up & Networking Day
August 28th
Want to join a book club – or start your own? At this informal networking event, you’ll meet other readers who are also looking for a reading group in English.
Whether you're into contemporary fiction, biographies, fantasy or the classics, this is your chance to connect with like-minded booklovers and set the foundation for your own book club in Vejle.
It is almost impossible to mention PostNord Danmark Rundt without mentioning Vejle Municipality. For the 26th time, we welcome top national and international cyclists to our hilly roads and beautiful landscapes, before the winner of this year's queen stage is decided in Vejle, with Kiddesvej as the focal point.
The fourth stage of the race starts in Svendborg on Friday, August 15, and takes the riders on a 227-kilometer journey that takes them past Børkop and Munkebjerg, as well as several local hills in the form of Højen Skovvej, Sandagervej, and Jerlev-bakken, which must be ridden twice.
Finally, the field will hit the 10-kilometer-long and now legendary circuit in Vejle, where Kiddesvej must be conquered no less than four times before the winner of the queen stage can be honored.
August 19th the café at Spinderihallernes will be cooking over campfire, instead of the usual buffet but with the same great sustainable concept. The café will be cooking a lovely, healthy and sustainable dinner - come and eat and enjoy the food and campfire for only 59dkr.
August 21st we start up the Coffee / Kaffe sessions again. An informal coffee meeting with Newcomer Service & Spinderihallerne. Stop by just to meet others or maybe you are new in town or have a question you would like to run by us. YOU NAME IT!
Plastic is here — for better or worse. This exhibition, Plastic Forever, focuses mainly on the former. Because what if we could learn to love plastic? When we love something, we take care of it — and what we care for, we don’t just replace with something new.
Guided tours of Fjordenhus in English - Saturdays in August
On Saturdays you can join a guide from Vejle Art Museum on a tour of parts of Olafur Eliasson's enormous architectural artwork, Fjordenhus.
Discover the amazing works of art on the open ground floor, learn the fascinating story of the design and construction process, and take a trip underwater to see the exhibition in the basement. Here you can see a number of unique pieces of furniture that Eliasson created especially for Fjordenhus. The exhibition can only be experienced on guided tours.
Stop by and grab some great books when we open the Labraries' doors once again for our big book sale—this time at the libraries in Farveriet, Børkop, Egtved, Give, and Jelling.
August 19 at 10am the book sale starts and continues until the 21st. We have been clearing out our shelves, which means that you now have another chance to buy lots of exciting books for both children and adults at bargain prices.
There are activities for all ages along Bølgen and Vejle Marina – all the way to Havneøen by Fjordenhus, and also fun activities with the maritime associations on the fjord itself.
The Fjord Festival is Vejle's annual event in the fjord city. Here, we take advantage of all the fjord has to offer, not least the new district that has blossomed up by the marina.
NOTE the event page will be updated in the coming weeks!
